What should science look like in elementary classrooms? by Kelsey https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p You might think about . . . • Childhood experiences with science (formal/informal) • Experiences with children in science settings (formal/informal) • What works? What doesn’t work? Why? For whom? • What should we prioritize? • What beliefs about children, science and the purpose of education underlie your ideas? How do the readings inform your ideas? en-us 2022-03-01 15:18:30 UTC 2025-11-24 13:01:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Power of Relationships kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071977294 2022-03-01 17:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071977294 Future Learning kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071977750 2022-03-01 17:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071977750 A question, waiting to be answered kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071978891 2022-03-01 17:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071978891 What is means to be an inquiry teacher kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071979475 2022-03-01 17:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071979475 Evolving Classroom kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071980500 2022-03-01 17:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071980500 David Perkins kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071981324 2022-03-01 17:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071981324 Schools kills creativity kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071985955 2022-03-01 17:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2071985955 The Art of Letting Go kelseyannca https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072176902 2022-03-01 19:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072176902 Sasha, Alyssa, Katie, Katelyn, Dayna https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072227900 - educators behaviours can influence the students disposition to explore and be curious 
- be enthusiastic as educators! 
- create a safe space to ask questions 
- teaching through inquiry and using a knowledge building circle 
- encourage them to share what they already know before we start the teaching process 
- basic understanding of scientific method 
- don't fully agree with Trefil et al. does not need to be so content focused, can be more scientific method focused 
- on a continuum of science method versus science content 
- where is it best to teach on the continuum? 
- letting students guide science learning 
- help them learn what they are interested in ]]> 2022-03-01 19:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072227900 room 4 takeaways (Caro, Sarah, Jessica A, Annie, Catherine) https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072228403 -experiential learning is key for learning
-emotion-centered learning vs. rational/intellectual = needs to have balance
-students are recommended to learn by way of their own interests, curiosities, sense of wonder and inquiries
-when are rules helpful to create an orderly learning container versus overly prescriptive?
-the risks of science education are both physical, and social (especially around naive beliefs)]]> 2022-03-01 20:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072228403 Abyan, L'Mar, Katherine and Jamie (Group 6) https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072228898 - emphasizing hands-on learning
- fostering critical thinking skills
- maintaining student interest/input
- small inquiry groups (enhancing collaboration)
- unit projects that are developed over the course of a few weeks (knowing building in consecutive classes)
- inquiry-based experiential learning opportunities
- focus on curiosity, project-based learning, less structured
- opportunities for creativity
- blending different science strands, finding connections between them, applying academic content to real-life contexts to make the it more relevant in student lives]]> 2022-03-01 20:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072228898 Eira, Larissa, Jessica, D'Arcy, Maham (Group 3) https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072229557 -Ensuring there is a focus on preserving our environment.
-Science is always changing, therefore it is imperative to give children the tools to question and keep learning about science, rather than just memorizing absolute facts.
-Inquiry should be included
-Teaching children how to decipher which sources to trust
-Instilling wonder within children about science, and ensuring it stays with them throughout their lives.]]> 2022-03-01 20:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072229557 Beth, Alanna, Sunshine, Sonia, Vanessa https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072234477 -Comparisons within science in primary vs jr vs high school 
-Allowing children to be involved (more than just worksheets)
-Heavy reliance on science videos 
-Encouraging "wonder"
-The value of hands on experiences 
-The value of learning science outside
-We compared our different experiences within the same unit ]]> 2022-03-01 20:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyannca/3l0ebq1j5y90945p/wish/2072234477
